Left-wing Politics
LEFT-WING POLITICS supports social equality and egalitarianism ,
often in opposition to social hierarchy and social inequality . It
typically involves a concern for those in society whom its adherents
perceive as disadvantaged relative to others (prioritarianism ), as
well as a belief that there are unjustified inequalities that need to
be reduced or abolished (by advocating for social justice ). The term
left-wing can also refer to "the radical , reforming , or socialist
section of a political party or system". The political terms "Left" and "Right " were coined during the French
Revolution (1789–1799), referring to the seating arrangement in the
Estates General : those who sat on the left generally opposed the
monarchy and supported the revolution, including the creation of a
republic and secularization , while those on the right were
supportive of the traditional institutions of the Old Regime

Centre-left Politics
CENTRE-LEFT POLITICS or CENTER-LEFT POLITICS (
American EnglishAmerican English ),
also referred to as MODERATE-LEFT POLITICS, is an adherence to views

control by the individual person through their abilities and talents,
and social responsibility in areas outside control by the individual

Political Spectrum
A POLITICAL SPECTRUM is a system of classifying different political
positions upon one or more geometric axes that symbolize independent
political dimensions. Most long-standing spectra include a right wing and left wing , which
originally referred to seating arrangements in the French parliament
after the
RevolutionRevolution (1789–1799). According to the simplest
left–right axis, communism and socialism are usually regarded
internationally as being on the left, opposite conservatism and
capitalism on the right.
Liberalism can mean different things in
different contexts, sometimes on the left (social liberalism ),
sometimes within libertarianism (classical liberalism ). Those with an
intermediate outlook are classified as centrists or moderates.

List Of Political Ideologies
In social studies , a political ideology is a certain set of ethical
ideals , principles, doctrines , myths or symbols of a social movement
, institution , class or large group that explains how society should
work, and offers some political and cultural blueprint for a certain
social order. A political ideology largely concerns itself with how to
allocate power and to what ends it should be used. Some parties follow
a certain ideology very closely, while others may take broad
inspiration from a group of related ideologies without specifically
embracing any one of them. The popularity of an ideology is in part
due to the influence of moral entrepreneurs, who sometimes act in
their own interests. Political ideologies have two dimensions: * Goals: how society should be organized.
* Methods: the most appropriate way to achieve this goal.An ideology is a collection of ideas

Power-sharing
CONSOCIATIONALISM (/kənˌsoʊʃiˈeɪʃənəlɪzəm/
kən-SOH-shee-AY-shən-əl-iz-əm ) is often viewed as synonymous with
POWER-SHARING, although it is technically only one form of
power-sharing.
Consociationalism is often seen as having close affinities with
corporatism ; some consider it to be a form of corporatism while
others claim that economic corporatism was designed to regulate class
conflict , while consociationalism developed on the basis of
reconciling societal fragmentation along ethnic and religious lines. The goals of consociationalism are governmental stability, the
survival of the power-sharing arrangements, the survival of democracy
, and the avoidance of violence . When consociationalism is organised
along religious confessional lines, it is known as confessionalism ,
as is the case in

Green
GREEN is the color between blue and yellow on the visible spectrum .
It is evoked by light which has a dominant wavelength of roughly
495–570 nm . In subtractive color systems, used in painting and
color printing, it is created by a combination of yellow and blue, or
yellow and cyan ; in the
RGB color modelRGB color model , used on television and
computer screens, it is one of the additive primary colors , along
with red and blue, which are mixed in different combinations to create
all other colors. By far the largest contributor to green in nature is
chlorophyll , the chemical by which plants photosynthesize and convert
sunlight into chemical energy. Many creatures have adapted to their
green environments by taking on a green hue themselves as camouflage .
Several minerals have a green color, including the emerald , which is
colored green by its chromium content
